Alyssa Lies Chords & Tabs
my lit(G)tle girl(D) met a new friend,
(C)just the other day,
on the play(G)ground at(D) school
between the (C)tires and the swings
SAME AS FIRST VERSE...
But she came home with tear-filled eyes,
and she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa lies"
Well I just brushed it off at first,
'cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
or the things she had seen.
I wasn't ready when I said "You can tell me"
and she said... (C)
"Alyssa lies(G) to the class(D)room,
Alyssa li(C)es everyday at sch(D)ool,
Alyssa li(G)es to the tea(D)chers
as she tri(C)es to cover every bru(D)ise"
SAME AS FIRST VERSE...
My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep.
As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
"God bless my mom and my Dad
and my new friend, Alyssa
*oh*I know she needs you bad
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jason_michael_carroll/alyssa_lies_crd.html ]
CHORUS
Because Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise"
(bridge)
I had the worst nig(Em)ht of sleep in years (A7)
as I tried (Em) to think of a way to calm her fears (A7)
I knew (Em) just what it was I had to do (A7)
but when we got (Em) to school on Monday I heard (D) the news
same as first verse...
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
the lump in my throat grew bigger
with every question that she asked.
Until I felt the tears run down my face
and I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today
PLAY THE CHORUS CHORDS HERE...
'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom
she doesn't lie anymore at school
Alyssa lies with Jesus
because there's nothin' anyone would do
SAME AS FISRT VERSE
Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why
Alyssa lies
*Oh Daddy, oh* Daddy tell me why (C)
Alyssa lies (G)
